Commissioner's eligibility still overshadows Holly Hill meetingsOngoing controversy of whether or not Holly H ill City Commissioner Donnie Moore is eligible to sit on the commission overshadowed another city meeting on July 23. Mr. Moore represents the city's third district and is under investigation by Volusia County Elections Supervisor Ann McFall concerning Mr. M oore's and his wife's voting record in 2012. The M oores had been removed from the voting r ecords, but have since been reinstated by Ms. Mc F all. Mr. Moore allegedly did not live within his district while he was running for office and there are records of his having filed for homestead exemption in Lake County. Throughout the evening, as familiar faces continued to demand action be taken, the commission followed City Attorney Scott Simpson's advice not to comment on the issue and addressed the agenda items before them, including millage rates and stormwater fees. Mr. Simpson was not present at the meeting. By a vote of 3-1, the commission set the city's proposed tax rate at $7.53 per $1,000 with Mr. Moore voting against the motion and Commissioner Penny Currie not present. The proposed rate is less than the r olled-back rate of $7.55, which would have generated the same amount of tax revenue as last y ear. "W e are below the taxes we raised last year," said City Manager James McCroskey. "We went below roll-back, so we cut taxes this year." How ever, the rate was $7.35 last year. So, a H olly Hill resident with a home valued at $100,000 and a $50,000 homestead exemption would pay $376.50 this year compared to $367.50 last year under the proposed rate. The first reading of the Redevelopment District Overlay buffer reductions was passed unanimously. The ordinance is to help properties affected when U.S. 1 was widened. "S ome front yards are very small. Instead of 10 feet, the landscape variance is for 5 feet. There's not enough room for landscape and parking lot," Mr. McCroskey explained. By passing the ordinance, the city landscaper will be able to cut it down to 5 feet without the r equest of a special variance. 072964J AMES SKOW, PA Attorney 139 Executive Circle Suite 103  Daytona Beach, FL 32114Phone: 386-310-4894  Fax: 386-310-4895  www.Skowlaw.com  jskow@skowlaw.com Bankruptcy and Foreclosure Largest Buffet in Daytona BeachF eaturing Cook to Order Sirloin Steak & Japanese Hibachi1320 W.

T eacher shares tax holiday, back to school lessonsB ells won't be ringing and carolers won't be singing, but parents will be shopping this weekend, trying to get the best bang for their backto-school bucks. The three-day sales tax holiday will begin at 12:01 a.m., Friday, Aug. 2, and end at midnight Sunday, Aug. 4. Du r ing this period, no Florida sales tax or local option tax will be collected on sales of clothing, footwear and certain accessories selling for $75 or less per item, on certain school supplies selling for $15 or less per item. F or the first time since the holiday started in 1998, computers and certain r elated accessories selling for $750 or less and purchased for noncommercial use will not come equipped with sales tax. One would assume a teacher and mother of two elementary school children, who has a penchant for shopping, would be all over this one. B ut Dora Freed, a teacher at Blue Lake Elementary School in DeLand, did her back-to-school shopping last weekend. S he plans to avoid the tax holiday altogether. "I t does not excite me because I don't like to fight crowds," Mrs. Freed said. "It doesn't mean I don't need to save money because I do, but stores offer so many discounts before and after tax free, and they won't have those discounts during that w eekend."

The dinner is an initiative of Pierre Louis, a r etired U.S. Marine and director of the Daytona N eighborhood Network C enters. The Neighborhood Network Centers are under the D aytona Beach Housing De velopment Corp., which is headed by CEO Joyours P ete Gamble. The corporation works in partnership with the D aytona Beach Housing A uthority, which is headed by CEO/Executive Director, Anthony Woods. There are three centers operating in Daytona B each Housing Authority developments Palmetto Pa r k, Pine Haven and No r thwood Village. The centers provide tutoring and homework assistance for kids as well as computer, Internet access, and job search access for residents. All 28 kids who attended the dinner visit the Network Centers and most live within a housing complex. Last year, we only had five students, so we saw a lot of improvement this y ear," Mr. Louis said. The purpose of the dinner is to encourage the kids to achieve their goals. "I wanted to teach kids that they could go to a particular goal in life. To start with one that was reachable and obtainable. Then y ou accomplished those and you learn that you can accomplish goals. They can use the same principles that they use to achieve honor roll to other things in life," Mr. Louis said. This was the fourth consecutive year of the dinner. "O ver the years, I have seen progression and improvement in the kids. When other kids see the kids going to the dinner, the ones that didn't go are motivated to make honor r oll and go the next year.

online sale over a week before the tax holiday. If y ou want to impress this savvy shopper and avid r esearcher, lower a few prices during tax holiday, like coupon stacking. She might re-consider that crowd thing. "I t makes a difference if stores have sales on top of tax free," Mrs. Freed said. "I t' s almost a game if you pay attention, you can get the best of both worlds." Over a decade of "doing" back to school has taught Mrs. Freed some lessons. Office stores are less crowded than certain superstores and offer rewards for patronage. Department stores use enticing strategies to prompt shoppers to shop there before and after the tax holiday. "K ohl's, Macy's, JCPenney they're competing so I feel like they're sweetening the pot a little more," Mrs. Fr eed said. "Kohl's offers K ohl's cash so you save money (during the sale) and then after the tax break you go back and save again." Ha ve you ever met a teacher who didn't love to plan? They have planning days over the summer, too. "N ow with the Internet, it's so much easier to find deals," Mrs. Freed said. "You can search the Internet and plan your trip before you even leave the house. You'll save gas." Y ou can't argue with two plus two logic. F amilies with school-aged children will spend an average of $634.78 on apparel, shoes, supplies and electronics this year, down from $688.62 in 2012, according to a survey conducted by the N ational Retail Federation. Mrs. Freed will end up spending around 65 percent of this year's predicted average on children for whom she does not possess birth certificates. Aside from the contributions to Nike, Levi, Quicksilver and Duck Dynasty Mrs. Fr eed has made to satisfy the requirements of her 7 and 11 year old boys, she said she'll spend a chunk of her own money to keep her other children" happy. H er chunk is conservative compared to some of her coworkers. "O n average, I probably spend about $400 of my own money and that's because I watch," Mrs. Freed said. "O thers probably spend $1,000." While school district budgets continue to shrink, teachers still have to motiv ate kids to think. How many first and second graders understand that hard work is its own reward? That's why teachers like Mrs. Freed buy colorful notepads, pencils and erasers. That's why they have pizza parties and decor ate their classrooms. "I f we went by what our contract says we'd get to school at 7:30, leave at 2:30 and the kids would get the bare minimum," Mrs. Freed said. "But it wouldn't be fun. We try to incentivize kids with extras to make it fun." The $250 to $300 teachers get at the beginning of the school year from the county doesn't stretch far enough when parents, struggling to feed and house their children, are unable to provide the items suggested on the supply list, including pencils, paper, crayons, hand sanitizer and more. The county comes up with a list but it's not r equired," Mrs. Freed said. "O urs is a low socio-economic school so one-third of our parents can't afford to send in supplies." Du r ing the tax holiday, she said, teachers are allowed to spend up to $100 using the county credit card, a drop in the 180-day school y ear bucket. That's less than a dollar a day for roughly 18 kids," Mrs. Freed said. "So we're taking money out of our o wn households." Ev en the tax deduction allowed for their contributions has decreased from $500 to $250, she said. T eachers aren't much different from students when it comes to the feelings tied to the beginning and end of the school year. The yearly experience is emotionally cyclical. "I 'm excited to go back," Mrs. Freed said. "I'm always ecstatic on the last day of school. It's part of a release. I feel like the kids are ready for the next level and I'm r eady for a break."

Alcohol-impaired automobile accidents accounted for more than 10,000 deaths in 2011, which translates into one crash every fifty-one minutes according to the National Highway Tr affic Safety Administration Ho w intoxication affects your driving C ar accidents resulting from driving drunk can occur in more ways than one. Being intoxicated can cause a driver to speed or drive too slowly, make an improper turn in front of oncoming traffic, fail to stop at a red light or behind another driver, or to drive on the wrong side of the road. Any of these situations can cause an automobile accident and serious injury to the innocent passengers inside. The difference presented by alcohol-impaired automobile accidents If y ou are injured in a car crash that was caused by someone else's negligence, you have the legal right to hire a personal injury lawyer and pursue fair compensation to r ecover your losses. If the negligent driver was intoxicated above the legal limit at the time of the crash, however, there are many more sanctions that can be imposed on the driver and potential third parties. F or example, many drivers operating a vehicle while under the influence can be charged with a DUI or DWI. More serious criminal sanctions may be awarded if the accident resulted in death to the victim such as heavy fines and imprisonment. D epending on the case, a third party not directly involved in the crash may be found negligent and awarded monetary or criminal punishment as well. For instance, social hosts, parents, and other suppliers of alcohol to the negligent driver may be found indirectly responsible for the accident and the victim's injuries. W hy hiring an automobile accident attorney can help you recover V ictims of a drunk driving accident are often left with overwhelming emotional trauma, expensive medical bills, lost wages, and sometimes debilitating personal injuries. Likewise, when you are involved in an accident, it's difficult to know what to do first and how to handle it. How do you see a doctor? What do you tell the insurance company? How much coverage do you have? Having an attorney fighting for your rights assists you with every step of the process, so you can focus on healing and getting back to your normal life. At Ru e, Z iffra & Caldwell, we know that automobile accident litigation is often difficult and time consuming. If you want full and fair compensation for the injury you sustained from being injured by a drunk driver, we strongly urge you to retain exper ienced counsel. We proudly serve areas throughout and around Volusia County and F lagler County, Florida, including, Port Orange, Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach, E dgewater, Ormond Beach, Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, DeLand, Deltona, Bunnell, Orange City, Sanford, Orlando, and Leesburg.

If you actually took the time to look at my old head and face that would hold three days of rain, you could probably never guess I was once a peanut. Yep, that's right I was one of the kids in the Peanut Gallery on The Howdy Doody Show. S ome of you will remember that was one of the earliest TV shows for children. It was great fun with a mix of live characters, puppets and marionettes. I remember I had to really kick my consumption of jelly sandwiches into high gear in order to get the r equired number of Wonder Br ead wrappers to make it onto the show. When it finally happened, all of us Peanuts were buzzing with excitement when out strode Buffalo B ob in his trademark buckskins and shouted "hey kids, what time is it?" "It's How dy Doody time" we screamed in unison. Each week that line started the action. The clown Clara Bell would run around the stage honking his horn and spraying water from a seltzer bottle and then out came the freckle faced marionette Howdy Doody. On each episode, the cast of characters would range from the crusty old Mr. B luster puppet to the beautiful real life Indian princess Summerfall W interspring. Lots of fun for the kids. A ctually as a small tyke, I was more in tune to the r adio shows than the few TV shows for children that were then available. Hands down my all time favorite was Big J ohn and Sparkie. Back then my mom enjoyed browsing through antique shops each S aturday. Our entire family of four was expected to accompany her in that hobby. Trouble was, the car r adio could not pick up the B ig John and Sparkie show and I could not miss it. Each week mom tapped her toe impatiently as I hung onto the adventures of S parkie the elf, who wanted nothing more than to be a r eal boy. The show would always end with Sparkie in some sort of impossible situation and I could hardly wait to see how he got out of it. Looking back, I know I tried my mother's patience. In the early 1950s, radio was a big part of everyday life. After he retired, my Mo m' s dad came to live with us. Grandpap, as I called him, was nearly stone deaf, but each evening he would turn the volume wide open and put his ear right next to the old Emerson radio on our kitchen table. The familiar strains of Rossini's theme music would fill the air and then, in a solemn voice, the announcer would say: "a fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty hi yo S ilver away the Lone R anger!" Grandpap played it so loud it filled the block and the neighbors would use it as a signal to call in the kids for dinner or to do their homework. Each night our minds would paint the picture of the masked man as he solved the problems of the old west. I can assure y ou none of us pictured the Lone Ranger's Indian sidekick Tonto the way J ohnny Depp portrayed him in the recent movie. Later, when it became a TV series, Clayton Moore and Jay S ilverheels were just about perfect as The Lone Ranger and Tonto. Se r geant Preston of the Y ukon was another great r adio show. Always on the side of right, the Canadian M ountie Sgt. Preston along with his faithful husky dog Y ukon King fought the good fight each week. S ome of the old radio shows began as comic strips. Flash Gordon and J ungle Jim were two of the best. K ids had to use their imaginations to picture the sets and characters. Television and the movies could never match what a kid with an active imagination could come up with. Back then I r emember thinking I knew exactly what the elf Sparkie looked like although I had never seen any kind of likeness. There was many radio broadcasts for the adults as w ell. Dragnet and The S hadow were two of the most popular. Also, in the early '50s, I would become a big fan of the TV western The Cisco Kid. Each week the show ended with The K id (Duncan Rinaldo) and his silly sidekick Pancho (Leo Carillo) sharing a laugh. Imagine my surprise when I went to Los Angeles in the early 1960s and found Mr. Carillo's name plastered all over town. He must have been quite a businessman for his name was on office buildings, a car dealership, The Santa Monica Pier and even a beach. I would say old Pancho had the last laugh on The Cisco Kid.

At the dinner, each child was given a gift card valued at $50, dinner and an honorary key to the city of Daytona Beach. This year, the dinner was at a new location. In previous years, the dinner was at V ince Carter's restaurant. "W e just went to the one that could accommodate our needs at that time," Mr. Louis said.

What happened to men? They have gotten so fat it looks like they are trying out for the fat man contest. And clothes, how about the shorts that show their butt crack? Oh such a vision, T-shirts that are too tight, coming into the house covered in grease. Good looks are a two way street, and we have come into an age where women don't feel they have to constantly wear a dress with high heals and pearls while scrubbing the kitchen floor. A lot of men come home from work sit their behinds down on the couch or chair with their beer and expect their wife to fix dinner and get the kids bathed and ready for bed, do the laundry, vacuum and make beds after working a full day at some job dealing with idiots and men hitting on them. So, my friend, it is a two-way street. In response to: Zimmeran trial reveals an ugly truth'All people must accept the findings of our legal system. In the Zimmerman trail, as if there is no such thing as unjust verdicts, I do not accept the not guilty verdict and nor does juror B29. George Zimmerman got away with murder. The evidence showed that. The law, the jury instructions, the prosecutors' failure to instruct the jury to a manslaughter charge is what let George Zimmerman get away with murder. Plenty of evidence to show that he murdered Trayvon Martin. The Zimmerman trial reveals an ugly truth to me: according to your article here is you seem to be a racist. You talk about your cousin and that poor woman whose baby was shot. I heard plenty about that woman. Bringing stuff into that is like other national TV news dividing the county by race. I disagree with you. Jurors should remain silentOne of the jurors in the Zimmerman trial has now claimed she changed her mind. She had her chance. She should have spoken up and had the jury be hung. Rather than now, after the fact, coming out and saying how she r eally feels. S he has made a mockery out of our jury system. She should have said it then. Now, it is too late. The media is r eporting it and that too is a mockery. We shouldn't know who these people are. They should be forced to sign a be silent contract. In response to: County pursuing eminent domain for road project'I thought eminent domain was illegal and removed from the books now. Florida is outdated. No one has the right to take your property away, especially a business. The price he is asking is too high. What about the business he is going to lose? I have been here since 2005 and all you care about is bed taxes. How about stopping all these programs like ECHO and putting the money into the schools? All you care about is tourism. How about using profits on school children? Let's get out of tourism and let's get in to manufacturing jobs, where people can make a decent salary and bring home livable wages, so women don't need to be the top wage earners. I think America should be ashamed of itself. Slave labor is all we have. Who cares about the royal baby?My attitude on the birth of a royal baby in Britain is: who cares? We declared independence in 1776. Leave it on that side on the pond.Why did they stop making American cars?Why did they stop making American cars? Why didn't they just cut down on Japanese imports? The Pontiac was a great blue blood American car. The Mercury was a fast beautiful American car. The Oldsmobile was an American icon. So why, oh why, did our glorious financial advisors keep the Japanese cars here and kick out these fine American machines?Time is preciousMy time is precious. A recent Disney ad on TV said we know your time is precious, so come here and see everything in our park. Well, I figured they are right, so why not go to Disney World and use as much of my time, my precious time, as possible. Each line for each attraction took me approximately one hour to two hours before I got into each attraction. By going to six attractions that would come to an average of nine hours of waiting time in line to see the six attractions for that day. Are they not capable of realizing how much time people waste in line? I would rather walk my family through the zoo or a museum and use 100 percent of our precious time to get our money's worth. In response to: Yesterday's women'F or the person who wrote Yesterday's women. Thank you, I haven't laughed that hard since I was a child. What happened to those women? Well one thing, people felt that two incomes would be better than one. When women started seeing their husbands not wearing nice clothes anymore they started figuring why should they. B esides they cost a lot of money. What man in this day can afford to support a house with a wife and child or children by themselves? The Indian River Lagoon needs our help. This remarkable estuary provides a livelihood for commercial fisheries, recreational opportunities for the public and vital habitat for plant, animal and marine life. The lagoon also generates billions of dollars for the local economy. Over the past couple of y ears, the stretch of the lagoon in Brevard and V olusia counties has experienced severe algal blooms that have degraded water quality and reduced seagrass coverage. In addition, a brown tide algal bloom appeared this past spring in the northern lagoon. Gov. Rick Scott, the F lorida Department of Environmental Protection and the St. Johns River W ater Management D istrict are concerned about the health of the lagoon and committed to finding out why the blooms occurred in the northern r eaches and how we might r educe the chances of similar events in the future. We are partnering with local governments, educational institutions and many stakeholders in this work. The Florida Legislature is also focused on the lagoon with the formation this summer of a Senate S elect Committee that is looking at water quality and quantity issues in the southern lagoon region. N atural factors may have contributed to the appearance of these massive algal blooms, with a 2011 superbloom" being the most likely perfect storm of occurrences. The cold waters during the extremely cold winters of 2009 and 2010, which many anglers r emember killing large numbers of game fish, may have also killed much of the naturally occurring large tumbleweed-like algae, causing them to decay and release nutrients.The increase in nutrients caused by the decaying tumbleweed-like algae in the warmer spring and summer waters in 2011 may have helped facilitate the superbloom that created conditions for the brown tide bloom that exists today in the lagoon from New Smyrna Beach in V olusia County to Titusville in Brevard County. S tate agencies charged with protecting our natural r esources and wildlife are addressing various lagoonr elated issues and sharing their expertise with one another. While this immediate crisis may be naturally occurring, we continue to look for methods to improve the health of this wonderful ecosystem. R esearchers with the F lorida Fish and Wildlife C onservation Commission are studying the impacts to wildlife from the algal blooms. Many of Florida's best and brightest scientists began gathering data and conducting research following the superbloom, and every aspect of the lagoon its fish, its plant life, its water quality is being scrutinized to better understand the waterway's complexities. The District launched an initiative that more than doubles our lagoon r esearch and restoration work.We are enhancing our ability to monitor water quality changes and trends, and we are continuing to collaborate with partners to pursue algae studies, as well as transplanting seagrass to r evitalize its coverage. The Department has r ecently adopted new rules and regulations for the northern and central I ndian River Lagoon and B anana River Lagoon to mandate the reduction of nutrient intrusion.The goal is to reduce nutrients from washing into the estuary to r each the level needed to promote and maintain healthy seagrass growth.The adopted action plans identify additional projects to further reduce nutrient loadings. We are building upon y ears of research and are proceeding with "turn dirt" r estoration projects aimed at helping the lagoon. More than 100 projects have been implemented to provide long-term protection of the lagoon. State and local officials have worked hard and invested millions of dollars to address the lagoon's health, which had led to dramatic declines in harmful nutrient levels of phosphates and nitrates that feed algae. These trends coincided with work among many partners to decrease the land-based nutrients from flowing with storm water into the estuary.Much more, however, needs to be done. There are no simple answers.We are striving to better understand the factors whether naturally occurring or manmade that contribute to dramatic changes in the lagoon and how these changes will affect the health and future of this ra re and special place. M any biologists and scientists with historic knowledge of the lagoon's health and years of water quality and seagrass data continue to identify additional opportunities for progress.

Atlantic Ave., in Bellair Plaza, next to Publix Daytona Beach  386-677-5410 F or the first time since Ap r il 2008, builders obtained permits for more than 100 new houses in V olusia County in a single month. The U.S. Census Bureau r eported permits were issued in June for 109 single-family homes and 72 multi-family units. It was up sharply from 56 singlefamily and 12 multi-family units in June 2012. But does it signal home building in V olusia is all the way back from the Great Recession? M aybe or, if you follow D .R. Horton's land purchases, it's definitely back. The Fo rt Wo r th-based builder pushed past KB Home last y ear to become the largest builder in Volusia, which is appropriate since it was the largest home builder in the nation in 2012. The company has been buying up incomplete subdivisions all ov er the county, amassing hundreds of lots. So far, not a lot of other builders have kept up, but that could change rapidly if the number of houses started each month in V olusia stays above 100. Ev en if the Federal Reserve r aises interest rates this y ear, the building probably would continue because so much of the home buying in Volusia is done with cash. *** The home building numbers aren't the other ones that are really eyecatching. The latest report from the state Department of Revenue shows taxable r etail sales in Volusia in May we re up 8.4 percent from M ay 2012. Just about every r etail sector in the county was up and some were way up. While some other areas of business have been up and down, or sluggish, retail has been fairly consistently up over the past three or four years. Also, passenger traffic at D aytona Beach International Airport was up 7 percent in June at 53,572 compared to 49,860 in June 2012. The increased traffic has led D elta Air Lines to fly only big jets out of Daytona B each. On Monday, all five flights were on a MD-88. US Airways is still flying some smaller, regional jets out of DBIA, though. *** All right, so I was way off on the next Publix store to get the demolish-andr ebuild treatment. I didn't look at all the logistics or I would have guessed the one in Daytona Beach Shores. The Publix on South A tlantic Avenue sits next to a drug store that was closed when CVS built a standalone building at Atlantic Av enue and Dunlawton B oulevard. (Shameless plug for next door neighbor and landscaper Paul Slavin: Doesn't the landscaping look great at that CVS P harmacy?) Another logistical note I missed P ublix owns the building in the Shores. So, it should be able to easily expand from a 36,000-square-foot store to a 46,000-square-foot store there. On the other hand, there's going to be a lot of unhappy P ublix shoppers who now will have to go to the mainland or shop at the W inn-Dixie in the Shores. They could stay on the beachside, but it's a long way up to the Publix at B ellair Plaza. On behalf of the city of Daytona Beach - hey, Publix, you ever thought of putting a store on East International S peedway Boulevard? *** As the outparcels turn, Fi r estone has opened its store at The Pavilion at Port Orange. You can't miss it, since it is right out on W illiamson Boulevard in a high-profile spot. At Volusia M all's new restaurant village, Bahama Breeze will open Monday, Aug. 5. The village also will have a r elocated Olive Garden and a new IHOP. With CBL & Associates owning both The P avilion and Volusia Mall, can we expect a Bahama Br eeze to open next to the O live Garden at The Pavilion? *** There were a couple of r ecent land purchases of note. Lawrence, Kan., builder Mike Stultz paid $1.675 million for an oceanfront parcel at 1901 S. A tlantic Ave. in Daytona B each Shores. I'm sure the folks at the Shores City Hall hope he does something nice with it. That's the first oceanfront property on the north end of the city. Snow Enterprises of Ormond B each and North Carolina bought a large commercial lot on Hand Avenue, just w est of Nova Road in Ormond Beach, for $1 million from MDSS LLC of Ormond Beach. *** C onsolidated-Tomoka Land Co. managed to eke out a profit of $252,000 in the second quarter, down from $660 million last year. Re venue was at $5 million, up from $4.4 million last y ear as the company's rental properties are starting to add a lot of value to its bottom line. Speaking of which, the company r ecently bought a Rite Aid pharmacy property in R enton, Wash. (a suburb of S eattle) for $6 million. Rite Aid still has 13 years left on its lease there.

The Little Engine Academy helps keep children on trackF or working moms and dads, finding a top-notch daycare facility for their preschool children is not always an easy task. Though there may be many daycare centers within a given area, not all are equal, either in quality or affordability. In Ormond B each, however, there's a new kid" on the block the Little Engine Academy on South Nova Road. Fo r merly known as "B r ight Beginnings," the daycare center is now under the direction of Bob and Joy V aeth. After moving from Pa rk City, Utah, to Ormond B each, the couple assumed o wnership of the facility, and this past June, reopened the center with a new name. One of the most immediate attractions at the Little Engine Academy is a large Lionel train display with bells, whistles and crossr oads plus dozens of mini stop-off points, such as stores and eating-places. The winding track includes a tall mountain tunnel for the train to travel through and rural fields dotted with tractors; plus depots and towers and other nifty things guaranteed to catch a child's attention. "My husband likes trains that's how it all got started," Mrs. V aeth quipped. As a private childcare facility, the Little Engine A cademy offers daycare for both infants and kindergartners. "It's for preschoolers only getting kids ready for first grade, giving them a big head start," Mr. Vaeth said. The spacious surroundings and large number of r ooms allow for a variety of activities, each appropriately geared towards different age groups. A quick tour of the center begins with a sizable dining r oom for the older children, ages 3 to 5, and can accommodate up to 90 kids at a time. Experienced and certified aides are always on hand to tend to the little ones' needs. Down the hallway from the dining room is the "infant room" for babies six w eeks to one year. Cribs and r ockers are aptly placed throughout the room, and each infant is carefully tended by specially trained staff. O ther indoor areas include playrooms for toddlers ages 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. N ext is the "walking/talking" group the 3 year-olds; plus playrooms for the 4 and 5 year-olds. In all instances, activities, games and toys are age-appropriate. Also in place is a staff-to-child ratio of 1:4, 1:6, 1:11 and 1:16, depending on the age group. The older the child is, the greater the ratio. There also is a "computer r oom" or "learning lab" where the older children can learn language skills and access a variety of educational materials. The computers are not internetaccessible, but each of the programs provide important tools for learning. The lab, of course, is staffed and monitored by a teacher or teacher's aide. Throughout the facility itself, in every room and in every hallway, is an impressive array of artwork colorful hand-painted murals that depict animals, trees and pastoral scenes; plus people and places indigenous to other countries, including Japan, England, Fr ance and Mexico. When it comes to mealtime, the Little Engine Academy places great importance on the kind of food it provides. All meals are prepared by a caring kitchen staff that emphasizes a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, which in turn, helps y oungsters learn about good nutrition. In F lorida, daycare facilities are regulated by the D epartment of Children and F amilies. Each facility must follow certain criteria and meet the developmental guidelines for both activities and curriculum as set forth by DCF. Facilities must also be licensed by the state. Little Engine Academy has met every requirement. In addition, the owners are "on sight all day every day." As stated by Mr. Vaeth, the Little Engine Academy is a school where child enrichment is offered "more through curriculum-based education and less through babysitting. We're honored that the parents have entrusted their children to our care." The Little Engine Academy is at 499 S. Nova Road, Ormond Beach. H ours are 6:30 a.m. to 6 p .m., Monday through Friday.

U.S. Blinds can help improve your home's atmosphereThere is never a day he gets up and says, "I don't think I want to go to work today." At last count, he's tried to r etire twice and some would say he's failed both times. How ever, the things you can say about Tom Russell is he always makes sure his customers are satisfied, that he works with people he enjoys being with and he is a bonafide "people person." Mr. Russell and his wife, Elizabeth "Betsy" Russell, o wn U.S. Blinds Fabrications Inc. One of the worst times to open a new business in this country was in the late 1970s to mid 1980s, but in 1985 Mr. Russell started his company in a small showr oom and plant at 1725 S. No va R oad in South Daytona and 30 years later he is still there, except the showr oom and manufacturing plant are 10 times bigger and there are two more locations. Y ears of working for a national company as a decorator and sales representative gave him the knowledge and experience to "take the plunge." Mr. Russell also had a "recipe for success." He r ecognized at the time the only source for vertical blinds was to buy them from large national department stores. The fact he could manufacture (and still can) the entire product line he sells enabled him to produce a higher quality product as w ell as custom fit difficult installations instead of delivering "cookie-cutter" solutions. This gave him control over the entire process, assured the quality of the product, the timeliness of delivery and installation, and ultimately the ability to ensure customer satisfaction. N ot that it's always been easy. Mr. Russell started out by going to the Flea Market on the weekends, showing his vertical blinds, taking orders, coming back to the plant during the week to manufacture them and install them, and then the w eekend started the cycle all ov er again. U.S. Blinds is operated by a loyal group of employees that share Mr. Russell's goals of high quality and outstanding customer satisfaction. Each staff member is an expert in their field and is r eady to bring that expertise to your home. Knowledge and experience in colors and motif and the overall impact the customer wants to make with their home is of utmost importance to the staff of U.S. Blinds. As time marches on, so do trends and U.S. Blinds moves with the times. First, vertical blinds, then adding mini blinds, shutters (including interior plantation shutters) and now fully motorized awnings. They also have draperies and custom window treatments. B ecause of customer r equests, they established the only blind repair and cleaning service in the market. They offer in-home r epair service or customers can deliver their blinds that need repair or even pick up the needed parts at US B lind's manufacturing facility in South Daytona. They have been named the Southern Region Blindcrafter of the Year and are excited whenever they get the opportunity to help you spruce up your environment. It doesn't take much to change a window covering style or color to brighten y our home or business. In addition, your time is r espected by U.S. Blinds. Theirs is not a, "We'll see you between 1 and 4 this afternoon" operation. When they say they will be there at a certain time, they will be there. U.S. Blinds is fully licensed and insured, and stands behind every product that they sell with a satisfaction guarantee. If you ask some of your neighbors, chances are U.S. Blinds has done some work for them. A company that has been in business nearly 30 years speaks for itself. U.S. Blinds is run by a personable, knowledgeable man of integrity with a desire to make sure each customer is a satisfied customer. Tom and Betsy Russell have three children, D eborah, Christine and Chad. US Blinds stores are at 1725 S. Nova Road, South D aytona, 1104 W.

Shop has created smiles for five yearsH ershey's Ice Cream shop has been serving "smiles with every scoop" for the past five years in Ormond B each. The ice cream shop at 145 E. Granada Blvd. has made a home for itself in the community. Something important to owners Ben and Marilynn Sternberg. M any may walk by what Mr. Sternberg sees as the most important part of the shop the wall of fame with photos, sports team plaques and more highlighting their community. "P art of our success is our successful relationship with the schools, synagogue and sports teams," Mr. Sternberg said. "We support all of these and because of that, the community has accepted us as their ice cream shop." How ever, what to order may be a daunting task for the first time visitor, or even a repeat customer. There are 48 flavors of ice cream from C up O Joe to Cotton Candy and Mackinac Island Fudge. Then you have to decide how you want it in a cup, a homemade waffle cone, sundae, milkshake or banana split. "W e use Hershey's ice cream," Mrs. Sternberg said. "W e are a family business and so are they." J acob Hershey founded H ershey's Creamery in 1894, coincidentally the same year M ilton S. Hershey started his chocolate candy company, also in Pennsylvania. The selection is not limited to the hand-packed Hershey's Ice Cream; they also offer Greek no-fat frozen yo gurt and soft serve ice cream. Need an ice cream cake for a special occasion? They have that, too. Mr. Sternberg retired in N ew Jersey and moved with his wife to Florida. "I r etired in New Jersey and I didn't want to be r etired, so I thought I'd start a little business to keep me occupied," he said. K eeping occupied doesn't seem to be an issue for Mr. S ternberg. He is a familiar face at most of the local city and Main Street events and works closely with the schools and teachers in the area with different programs, including "The Ab ov e and Beyond Reward." There also is a Frequent Scooper Reward for a free ice cream after 10 are purchased. "W e do most of the events for the town and Main St r eet," Mr. Sternberg said. "W e also have a school r eward program for a free ice cream with a certificate given by the teacher whenever the student does something well academically or in sports." Mr. Sternberg said it isn't unusual to find a line of people waiting for ice cream, especially on weekend nights. Little bits of Ormond B each history and photos are posted on the wall for folks to read while they wait. "W e are very fortunate because we have a strong r esidential community behind us and the tourist community in front at the beach. We have had people tell us it isn't a vacation until they have been in for ice cream," Mr. Sternberg said. The shop also has bins of different candy for sale as w ell as a nostalgic candy section with candy from past decades not found on most store shelves. W affle cones are handmade on site and dipped in different toppings, including chocolate fudge, nuts and sprinkles. If that isn't enough, some of the largest cookies you will ever see, D avid's cookies, are baked fresh daily. The shop's 5th anniversary was July 19, but the S ternbergs are waiting until S eptember to celebrate with the community with free scoops of ice cream on Sunday, Sept. 22 "W e want to say thank you to the community," Mr. S ternberg said. "W e are part of the community. We live in Ormond B each and support Ormond B each," Mr. Sternberg said.

C aused by a single-celled parasite that infects the small intestine, Cyclospora usually causes diarrhea with frequent bowel movements. At this time, there have been no patients hospitalized in F lorida. O ther common symptoms of Cyclospora infection include loss of appetite, w eight loss, stomach cramps/pain, bloating, increased gas, nausea and fatigue. Vomiting, body aches, headache, fever and other flu-like symptoms may be noted. Cy clospora is most commonly spread by ingesting water or uncooked food that was contaminated with human feces. Cyclospora infections have been previously linked to various types of fresh vegetables and berries. Cyclospora is not passed directly from one person to another. "E pidemiologists across F lorida, in coordination with the Centers for Disease C ontrol and Prevention, are working to identify the source of these Cyclospora cases," said Interim State E pidemiologist Dr. Carina B lackmore. "Staff are reinterviewing those affected to carefully examine food items and the ingredients those patients were exposed to." Onset dates of Cyclospora cases in Florida range from the beginning of June to mid-July. There are no links to common restaurants found among the 24 cases, as in other states. Additionally, no common food items or events, like a social gathering, have been identified among those affected.

Fi r efighters removed him and attempted to revive him using cardiopulmonary r esuscitation. He was transported in grave condition to Halifax Health Medical Center where all attempts to save his life we re unsuccessful and the r esident was pronounced dead at the hospital. After removing Knoblich, firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the fire and confine all damage to the single apartment. During Du r ing the investigation into the cause of the fire a small cat was found deceased in the apartment and removed by firefighters.

One of the sure signs of the summer season is the sight of honeybees fluttering from flower to flower in search of sweet nectar that is needed for them to produce honey. Mo re often than not, these small creatures normally mind their own business at hand. This scenario is slowly beginning to change. W ith the introduction of the Africanized bees, you no longer can assume the bee y ou see is going to leave you alone. The problem is only a bee expert can tell the difference between an ordinary honeybee and one that is Africanized. Killer B ees are slightly smaller than their honeybee counterparts. S imilar to the imported fire ant, Africanized Honey B ees have been brought to our country by "accident." The bees are cousins of ones imported to South America in an attempt to breed more efficient honeybees that are better adapted to a tropical climate. This all transpired in 1957. The problems began to mount when they found the bees were multiplying much faster than expected. Some of these bees "escaped" from their intended area and the migration began. K iller Bees acquired their name because they tend to be much more aggressive than normal honeybees. They will chase down people or animals for long distances and in much larger numbers than normal bees. You can initiate an attack by simply getting into the bees' territory. You do not have to disturb the hive in order to get attacked. This is what makes them so dangerous. It is now known the bees have arrived in our area. It is a good idea to simply assume when you see a honeybee, it might be a killer bee and stay clear of its path. These bees can make hives in almost any structure so be aware of large numbers of bees coming and going out of trees, walls or virtually any object that has a hollow area. Normally, a few bees around your flowers doing their normal routine will generally not be a problem. R emember bees are necessary for pollination of flowers, fruits and vegetables. In the unlikely event you are under attack from a swarm of bees, run and find shelter as soon as possible. When you are in a safe area away from the bees, determine if you will need medical attention. If you have been stung several times and have symptoms, such as breathing difficulties, seek medical attention immediately. Local pain and some swelling is a normal occurr ence and does not always r equire medical attention. If y ou have known allergies to bee stings, seek medical attention no matter what. In addition, if you suspect you have encountered killer bee activity, notify authorities immediately. A summer plant One of my favorite plants to plant during the summer months is the Mexican H eather. These plants boast colorful lavender, purple or white flowers. They do well in both summer and winter. They do well in full sun as w ell as partial shade and will tolerate temperatures as low as 28 degrees. Even if they freeze to the ground, there is a chance they will grow back. They have excellent heat tolerance but do best with regular watering. They can grow to be three feet tall, but can be easily trimmed to fit your needs. They can be propagated from plant cuttings in the summer and they also can be grown from seed. The most common va r iety in retail stores is the Allyson, which has purple flowers. I also use Heather in my bedding area. The combination of the three flowers makes a great contrast of color in a flowerbed and you have the advantage of using flowers that tolerate our intense heat. You can also add some D usty Miller to the mix for a r eal treat. The silver-white colored leaves can really add the flower mix for a picture perfect garden!

The show is at Cinematique T heater, 242 S. Beach St., If there is one basic function that everyone is familiar with and yet shrouded in mystery, I would have to say that would be the "print" command. Again, everybody is familiar with the print command click the print button and your printer spits out a hard copy. But the reason it's shrouded in mystery is there are a ton of options and controls available, most of which no one takes the time to learn, that give the user a lot more control over the printer output than many people are aware they have. Let's take a look at some of these functions and see if we can figure out what some of them are good for and why we would want to use them. U sing the print button in the toolbar of many applications (or the "Quick Print" option in Word) will do just that quickly send whatever is onscreen to the printer using the "default" settings. What that means is the computer has a series of preset settings it will use "by default" if you don't tell it to do something different. F or instance, if you have more than one printer set up (perhaps your "real" printer and maybe a fax program listed as a printer), then the computer will have one printer set up as its default. If you don't tell it to print to another device, then that's the one it's going to print to. Other defaults include paper size, whether or not you want to print in color or grayscale and print quality. Clicking the print button on the tool bar will send the print job to the printer using these default settings. B ut what if you want to change something? Suppose y ou want to print to a different printer or maybe y ou want to print using the low quality settings (draft) to save some ink, how can y ou adjust these settings if the print job sends straight to the printer when you click print? To get to the print menu that gives you full control, look for the "File" pull-down menu at the top left hand corner of whatever program y ou are trying to print from. No w, be aware that not all programs have the "File, Ed it, View " pull down menus that we've grown fond of over the years. You may or may not see the file pull-down menu if you are r unning Vista or Windows 7, but that doesn't mean we can't get to where we want to go. If y ou have a "File" pulldown menu, click it. You should fine the print command listed and clicking that will pull up the print window. If you don't have the File pull-down, then on your keyboard, press and hold the CTRL button and then click P. That will open the print command the same as clicking F ile then Print. No w, I know what some of y ou are thinking, "Why go through all that business with the File pull-down menu when CTRL + P does the same thing?" Well, the r eason I try to steer people in the direction of the pulldown menus is simply because there are other commands in there right next to Print that may not be available with the keyboard shortcut. F or instance, you may notice a command called "P r int Preview" when you click the file pull down menu. Print Preview is a great command that saves paper by actually showing y ou a preview of what's about to come out of the printer should you commit and click print. The preview saves paper by letting you decide what adjustments y ou want to make before sending the print job to the printer. No w, back to our print command, clicking Print in the File pull-down or pressing CTRL+P will open the print dialogue box and the first thing it will show is what printer it's going to send to. This is where you can tell the computer to send to a device other than the default. Clicking the Pr operties button lets you change things like paper size, quality and color. The properties menu will change from printer to printer but the core is the same. It's the place where fine changes can be made on the printer. Fu r ther down the print dialogue box you can tell the computer what pages to print and how many copies and after making any changes here, clicking print will then send the job to the printer with the changes that you selected.

Ihave been doing a good bit of community service lately and, no, it is not a part of my parole. My wife Lana and I spent a nice afternoon at the "Splendor In The G lass" wine tasting at St. D emetrius Church in D aytona Beach. I was there to represent this paper and all inshore fishermen at the big charity event to support the ARC. The large, beautiful room was packed and everyone had a good time sampling the wine, beer and good food that was all donated. Capt. Nick did his usual great job of providing the island flavored background music as Arthur Byrnes manned the emcee mike. Lots of old friends and some new ones stopped by my table to talk fishing methods and tackle selection. Thanks to Gail Ir vrine for inviting us to be there. A while back I took a turn at the podium to speak to the Ormond B each chapter of AARP. I had an attentive audience as I delved into beach r acing and, of course, a bit of fishing. On Saturday, July 27, I was at Tomoka State Park to give a fishing seminar to the many locals and visitors who showed up. I spoke about red circle hooks, lead split shot and proudly showed off my fingernail kit that includes an emery board and clippers. Of course, I use the emery to sharpen my hooks and the nail clippers to cut the tag end of monofilament line while my fingernails remain a gnarly mess as usual. I demonstrated how easy it is to tie a good palomar knot and even took up the cast net for a couple throws. All good fun. Thanks to Phil Rand and Aggie Armstrong for the invite. F ishing has been spotty in the Mosquito Lagoon, but Capt. Leo is having success with his new Silver B utterscotch Mullet he helped develop for the Grandslam Bait Co. It is a good looking paddle tail minnow with a lot of action. According to Leo, that is about all that has been working down his way. Up here in the T omoka Basin area, the flounder action has picked up, but it appears to be an off-season compared to the last two. I was still able to use my chartreuse jig for three nice flatties near the spoil islands. The largest was 21 inches and that is a fish I will gladly take home on any day. Lately I have been hearing some good reports on snook north of Granada B oulevard and on up to H igh Bridge. I cannot tell y ou of any that I caught myself, but I remain ever hopeful my next trip will be the one. Ladyfish have been providing me with a little excitement around the islands in the Halifax. The shrimp run seems to be stalled up at High Br idge, but hopefully the little critters will come on down the river soon. This is the time of year when drifting a crab or hunk of fresh fish through the inlet will yield a monster red. If you have never experienced the thrill of doing battle with an oversized red drum, this is your chance. Using stout tackle, drop either a small whole crab or half of a large one down to the bottom and crank it back up a few turns. J ust sit back and let the current take you through the inlet in whichever direction it is moving. Be careful and make sure to hold onto your rod or have it securely in a holder for the bite will be instant and heavy. As I mentioned, you may substitute a big hunk of fresh mullet. If you happen to catch a ladyfish for bait, you can't miss. Those old big reds just love a juicy hunk of stinky ladyfish. In both rivers and all creeks, the mangrove snapper will be in the keeper size range. If y ou can locate a school of mangos, try and get a kid into the mix. Children and feisty mangrove snappers add up to nothing but fun. In this hot weather, it is best to go early or late and r emember to take along insect repellent.

There is a huge difference between golf and tournament" golf. Su re playing with your buddies for a few dollars or dinner or drinks after your r ound can get the nerves twitching, but nothing really compares to having to play exactly by the rules, counting every stroke. There are no "gimmes" or "just put me down for a double" pickups in tournament golf. If y ou are 50 years old, or will be soon, and want to experience the thrill that comes with competitive tournament golf, you should look into the Senior Amateur Golf Tour. This tour is open to men and women of all skill levels who will turn 50years of age or older during this calendar y ear. In Florida, there are four tours, West Palm B each, Orlando, North C entral and Tampa-Sarasota area. Each tour has its own schedule of events. The W est Palm schedule started in March, and has six events left out of its 15-event 2013 schedule. The Orlando Tour also started in March. The 16-event schedule has five tournaments remaining between now and October. M embers get to play some of the most exclusive and desired courses in their area. This year's Orlando schedule included tournaments at Southern Dunes, F alcon's Fire, Disney's O sprey Creek and Magnolia, The Quarry Course at Black D iamond, the New Course at Grand Cypress, Orange C ounty National, and LPGA I nternational in Daytona B each. W est Palm Beach's schedule featured tournaments at Binks Forest, G lenn Eagles, Hobe Sound, Br oken Sound, The Falls, Eastpointe and the Breakers R ees Jones Course to name a few. The best part of this tour is that when you join, you can play in events on any of the 15 tours. All you do is pay your entrance fee and off you go. So, if you happen to be visiting Pinehurst and they have a tournament while you are there, you can tee it up with new competition. Me mbership is $85 and the tournament entry fees r ange from $65 to more than $100, depending on where you are playing, with most falling around $85. M ost members are even allowed to play a practice r ound for what usually amounts to a cart fee. The membership fee includes T our merchandise and allows you to play in all local events as well as any SAGT event in the United States throughout the year. If y ou aren't sure if the S enior Amateur Golf Tour is something you would like to join and play in, they will allow you to play once as a guest. All you have to do is pay the entry fee for that event.

Commissioners eligibility still overshadows Holly Hill meetingsOngoing controversy of whether or not Holly H ill City Commissioner Donnie Moore is eligible to sit on the commission overshadowed another city meeting on July 23. Mr. Moore represents the citys third district and is under investigation by Volusia County Elections Supervisor Ann McFall concerning Mr. M oores and his wifes voting record in 2012. The M oores had been removed from the voting r ecords, but have since been reinstated by Ms. McF all. Mr. Moore allegedly did not live within his district while he was running for office and there are records of his having filed for homestead exemption in Lake County. Throughout the evening, as familiar faces continued to demand action be taken, the commission followed City Attorney Scott Simpsons advice not to comment on the issue and addressed the agenda items before them, including millage rates and stormwater fees. Mr. Simpson was not present at the meeting. By a vote of 3-1, the commission set the citys proposed tax rate at $7.53 per $1,000 with Mr. Moore voting against the motion and Commissioner Penny Currie not present. The proposed rate is less than the r olled-back rate of $7.55, which would have generated the same amount of tax revenue as last y ear. W e are below the taxes we raised last year, said City Manager James McCroskey. We went below roll-back, so we cut taxes this year. How ever, the rate was $7.35 last year. So, a H olly Hill resident with a home valued at $100,000 and a $50,000 homestead exemption would pay $376.50 this year compared to $367.50 last year under the proposed rate. The first reading of the Redevelopment District Overlay buffer reductions was passed unanimously. The ordinance is to help properties affected when U.S. 1 was widened. S ome front yards are very small. Instead of 10 feet, the landscape variance is for 5 feet. Theres not enough room for landscape and parking lot, Mr. McCroskey explained. By passing the ordinance, the city landscaper will be able to cut it down to 5 feet without the r equest of a special variance. 072964J AMES SKOW, PA Attorney 139 Executive Circle Suite 103 Daytona Beach, FL 32114Phone: 386-310-4894 Fax: 386-310-4895 www.Skowlaw.com jskow@skowlaw.com Bankruptcy and Foreclosure Largest Buffet in Daytona BeachF eaturing Cook to Order Sirloin Steak & Japanese Hibachi1320 W.

T eacher shares tax holiday, back to school lessonsB ells wont be ringing and carolers wont be singing, but parents will be shopping this weekend, trying to get the best bang for their backto-school bucks. The three-day sales tax holiday will begin at 12:01 a.m., Friday, Aug. 2, and end at midnight Sunday, Aug. 4. Dur ing this period, no Florida sales tax or local option tax will be collected on sales of clothing, footwear and certain accessories selling for $75 or less per item, on certain school supplies selling for $15 or less per item. F or the first time since the holiday started in 1998, computers and certain r elated accessories selling for $750 or less and purchased for noncommercial use will not come equipped with sales tax. One would assume a teacher and mother of two elementary school children, who has a penchant for shopping, would be all over this one. B ut Dora Freed, a teacher at Blue Lake Elementary School in DeLand, did her back-to-school shopping last weekend. S he plans to avoid the tax holiday altogether. I t does not excite me because I dont like to fight crowds, Mrs. Freed said. It doesnt mean I dont need to save money because I do, but stores offer so many discounts before and after tax free, and they wont have those discounts during that w eekend.

The dinner is an initiative of Pierre Louis, a r etired U.S. Marine and director of the Daytona N eighborhood Network C enters. The Neighborhood Network Centers are under the D aytona Beach Housing De velopment Corp., which is headed by CEO Joyours P ete Gamble. The corporation works in partnership with the D aytona Beach Housing A uthority, which is headed by CEO/Executive Director, Anthony Woods. There are three centers operating in Daytona B each Housing Authority developments Palmetto Par k, Pine Haven and Nor thwood Village. The centers provide tutoring and homework assistance for kids as well as computer, Internet access, and job search access for residents. All 28 kids who attended the dinner visit the Network Centers and most live within a housing complex. Last year, we only had five students, so we saw a lot of improvement this y ear, Mr. Louis said. The purpose of the dinner is to encourage the kids to achieve their goals. I wanted to teach kids that they could go to a particular goal in life. To start with one that was reachable and obtainable. Then y ou accomplished those and you learn that you can accomplish goals. They can use the same principles that they use to achieve honor roll to other things in life, Mr. Louis said. This was the fourth consecutive year of the dinner. O ver the years, I have seen progression and improvement in the kids. When other kids see the kids going to the dinner, the ones that didnt go are motivated to make honor r oll and go the next year.

online sale over a week before the tax holiday. If you want to impress this savvy shopper and avid r esearcher, lower a few prices during tax holiday, like coupon stacking. She might re-consider that crowd thing. I t makes a difference if stores have sales on top of tax free, Mrs. Freed said. I t s almost a game if you pay attention, you can get the best of both worlds. Over a decade of doing back to school has taught Mrs. Freed some lessons. Office stores are less crowded than certain superstores and offer rewards for patronage. Department stores use enticing strategies to prompt shoppers to shop there before and after the tax holiday. K ohls, Macys, JCPenney theyre competing so I feel like theyre sweetening the pot a little more, Mrs. Freed said. Kohls offers K ohls cash so you save money (during the sale) and then after the tax break you go back and save again. Ha ve you ever met a teacher who didnt love to plan? They have planning days over the summer, too. N ow with the Internet, its so much easier to find deals, Mrs. Freed said. You can search the Internet and plan your trip before you even leave the house. Youll save gas. Y ou cant argue with two plus two logic. F amilies with school-aged children will spend an average of $634.78 on apparel, shoes, supplies and electronics this year, down from $688.62 in 2012, according to a survey conducted by the N ational Retail Federation. Mrs. Freed will end up spending around 65 percent of this years predicted average on children for whom she does not possess birth certificates. Aside from the contributions to Nike, Levi, Quicksilver and Duck Dynasty Mrs. Freed has made to satisfy the requirements of her 7 and 11 year old boys, she said shell spend a chunk of her own money to keep her other children happy. H er chunk is conservative compared to some of her coworkers. O n average, I probably spend about $400 of my own money and thats because I watch, Mrs. Freed said. O thers probably spend $1,000. While school district budgets continue to shrink, teachers still have to motiv ate kids to think. How many first and second graders understand that hard work is its own reward? Thats why teachers like Mrs. Freed buy colorful notepads, pencils and erasers. Thats why they have pizza parties and decor ate their classrooms. I f we went by what our contract says wed get to school at 7:30, leave at 2:30 and the kids would get the bare minimum, Mrs. Freed said. But it wouldnt be fun. We try to incentivize kids with extras to make it fun. The $250 to $300 teachers get at the beginning of the school year from the county doesnt stretch far enough when parents, struggling to feed and house their children, are unable to provide the items suggested on the supply list, including pencils, paper, crayons, hand sanitizer and more. The county comes up with a list but its not r equired, Mrs. Freed said. O urs is a low socio-economic school so one-third of our parents cant afford to send in supplies. Dur ing the tax holiday, she said, teachers are allowed to spend up to $100 using the county credit card, a drop in the 180-day school y ear bucket. Thats less than a dollar a day for roughly 18 kids, Mrs. Freed said. So were taking money out of our o wn households. Ev en the tax deduction allowed for their contributions has decreased from $500 to $250, she said. T eachers arent much different from students when it comes to the feelings tied to the beginning and end of the school year. The yearly experience is emotionally cyclical. I m excited to go back, Mrs. Freed said. Im always ecstatic on the last day of school. Its part of a release. I feel like the kids are ready for the next level and Im r eady for a break.

www.HometownNewsOL.com F riday, August 2, 2013 Ormond Beach/Daytona Beach/Holly Hill A3 LEGAL CORNER072490 W hat You Should Know About Impaired Driving Accidents Wr itten by: Allan Ziffra, Esquire Although prominent media campaigns these days focus on the perils of texting while driving, it is no secret that our communities still combat the problem and consequences of individuals driving while under the influence. Alcohol-impaired automobile accidents accounted for more than 10,000 deaths in 2011, which translates into one crash every fifty-one minutes according to the National Highway Tr affic Safety Administration How intoxication affects your driving C ar accidents resulting from driving drunk can occur in more ways than one. Being intoxicated can cause a driver to speed or drive too slowly, make an improper turn in front of oncoming traffic, fail to stop at a red light or behind another driver, or to drive on the wrong side of the road. Any of these situations can cause an automobile accident and serious injury to the innocent passengers inside. The difference presented by alcohol-impaired automobile accidents If you are injured in a car crash that was caused by someone elses negligence, you have the legal right to hire a personal injury lawyer and pursue fair compensation to r ecover your losses. If the negligent driver was intoxicated above the legal limit at the time of the crash, however, there are many more sanctions that can be imposed on the driver and potential third parties. F or example, many drivers operating a vehicle while under the influence can be charged with a DUI or DWI. More serious criminal sanctions may be awarded if the accident resulted in death to the victim such as heavy fines and imprisonment. D epending on the case, a third party not directly involved in the crash may be found negligent and awarded monetary or criminal punishment as well. For instance, social hosts, parents, and other suppliers of alcohol to the negligent driver may be found indirectly responsible for the accident and the victims injuries. W hy hiring an automobile accident attorney can help you recover V ictims of a drunk driving accident are often left with overwhelming emotional trauma, expensive medical bills, lost wages, and sometimes debilitating personal injuries. Likewise, when you are involved in an accident, its difficult to know what to do first and how to handle it. How do you see a doctor? What do you tell the insurance company? How much coverage do you have? Having an attorney fighting for your rights assists you with every step of the process, so you can focus on healing and getting back to your normal life. At Ru e, Z iffra & Caldwell, we know that automobile accident litigation is often difficult and time consuming. If you want full and fair compensation for the injury you sustained from being injured by a drunk driver, we strongly urge you to retain exper ienced counsel. We proudly serve areas throughout and around Volusia County and F lagler County, Florida, including, Port Orange, Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach, E dgewater, Ormond Beach, Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, DeLand, Deltona, Bunnell, Orange City, Sanford, Orlando, and Leesburg.

If you actually took the time to look at my old head and face that would hold three days of rain, you could probably never guess I was once a peanut. Yep, thats right I was one of the kids in the Peanut Gallery on The Howdy Doody Show. S ome of you will remember that was one of the earliest TV shows for children. It was great fun with a mix of live characters, puppets and marionettes. I remember I had to really kick my consumption of jelly sandwiches into high gear in order to get the r equired number of Wonder Br ead wrappers to make it onto the show. When it finally happened, all of us Peanuts were buzzing with excitement when out strode Buffalo B ob in his trademark buckskins and shouted hey kids, what time is it? Its How dy Doody time we screamed in unison. Each week that line started the action. The clown Clara Bell would run around the stage honking his horn and spraying water from a seltzer bottle and then out came the freckle faced marionette Howdy Doody. On each episode, the cast of characters would range from the crusty old Mr. B luster puppet to the beautiful real life Indian princess Summerfall W interspring. Lots of fun for the kids. A ctually as a small tyke, I was more in tune to the r adio shows than the few TV shows for children that were then available. Hands down my all time favorite was Big J ohn and Sparkie. Back then my mom enjoyed browsing through antique shops each S aturday. Our entire family of four was expected to accompany her in that hobby. Trouble was, the car r adio could not pick up the B ig John and Sparkie show and I could not miss it. Each week mom tapped her toe impatiently as I hung onto the adventures of S parkie the elf, who wanted nothing more than to be a r eal boy. The show would always end with Sparkie in some sort of impossible situation and I could hardly wait to see how he got out of it. Looking back, I know I tried my mothers patience. In the early 1950s, radio was a big part of everyday life. After he retired, my Mo m s dad came to live with us. Grandpap, as I called him, was nearly stone deaf, but each evening he would turn the volume wide open and put his ear right next to the old Emerson radio on our kitchen table. The familiar strains of Rossinis theme music would fill the air and then, in a solemn voice, the announcer would say: a fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty hi yo S ilver away the Lone R anger! Grandpap played it so loud it filled the block and the neighbors would use it as a signal to call in the kids for dinner or to do their homework. Each night our minds would paint the picture of the masked man as he solved the problems of the old west. I can assure y ou none of us pictured the Lone Rangers Indian sidekick Tonto the way J ohnny Depp portrayed him in the recent movie. Later, when it became a TV series, Clayton Moore and Jay S ilverheels were just about perfect as The Lone Ranger and Tonto. Ser geant Preston of the Y ukon was another great r adio show. Always on the side of right, the Canadian M ountie Sgt. Preston along with his faithful husky dog Y ukon King fought the good fight each week. S ome of the old radio shows began as comic strips. Flash Gordon and J ungle Jim were two of the best. K ids had to use their imaginations to picture the sets and characters. Television and the movies could never match what a kid with an active imagination could come up with. Back then I r emember thinking I knew exactly what the elf Sparkie looked like although I had never seen any kind of likeness. There was many radio broadcasts for the adults as w ell. Dragnet and The S hadow were two of the most popular. Also, in the early s, I would become a big fan of the TV western The Cisco Kid. Each week the show ended with The K id (Duncan Rinaldo) and his silly sidekick Pancho (Leo Carillo) sharing a laugh. Imagine my surprise when I went to Los Angeles in the early 1960s and found Mr. Carillos name plastered all over town. He must have been quite a businessman for his name was on office buildings, a car dealership, The Santa Monica Pier and even a beach. I would say old Pancho had the last laugh on The Cisco Kid.

The children were picked up at the housing developments in chauffeured limousines, which took them to and from the restaurant. At the dinner, each child was given a gift card valued at $50, dinner and an honorary key to the city of Daytona Beach. This year, the dinner was at a new location. In previous years, the dinner was at V ince Carters restaurant. W e just went to the one that could accommodate our needs at that time, Mr. Louis said. The children who attended were grateful and enjoyed the experience. I t was nice and it was fun. I had a good time. It was very nice for Mr. Louis to do this.

What happened to men? They have gotten so fat it looks like they are trying out for the fat man contest. And clothes, how about the shorts that show their butt crack? Oh such a vision, T-shirts that are too tight, coming into the house covered in grease. Good looks are a two way street, and we have come into an age where women dont feel they have to constantly wear a dress with high heals and pearls while scrubbing the kitchen floor. A lot of men come home from work sit their behinds down on the couch or chair with their beer and expect their wife to fix dinner and get the kids bathed and ready for bed, do the laundry, vacuum and make beds after working a full day at some job dealing with idiots and men hitting on them. So, my friend, it is a two-way street. In response to: Zimmeran trial reveals an ugly truthAll people must accept the findings of our legal system. In the Zimmerman trail, as if there is no such thing as unjust verdicts, I do not accept the not guilty verdict and nor does juror B29. George Zimmerman got away with murder. The evidence showed that. The law, the jury instructions, the prosecutors failure to instruct the jury to a manslaughter charge is what let George Zimmerman get away with murder. Plenty of evidence to show that he murdered Trayvon Martin. The Zimmerman trial reveals an ugly truth to me: according to your article here is you seem to be a racist. You talk about your cousin and that poor woman whose baby was shot. I heard plenty about that woman. Bringing stuff into that is like other national TV news dividing the county by race. I disagree with you. Jurors should remain silentOne of the jurors in the Zimmerman trial has now claimed she changed her mind. She had her chance. She should have spoken up and had the jury be hung. Rather than now, after the fact, coming out and saying how she r eally feels. S he has made a mockery out of our jury system. She should have said it then. Now, it is too late. The media is r eporting it and that too is a mockery. We shouldnt know who these people are. They should be forced to sign a be silent contract. In response to: County pursuing eminent domain for road projectI thought eminent domain was illegal and removed from the books now. Florida is outdated. No one has the right to take your property away, especially a business. The price he is asking is too high. What about the business he is going to lose? I have been here since 2005 and all you care about is bed taxes. How about stopping all these programs like ECHO and putting the money into the schools? All you care about is tourism. How about using profits on school children? Lets get out of tourism and lets get in to manufacturing jobs, where people can make a decent salary and bring home livable wages, so women dont need to be the top wage earners. I think America should be ashamed of itself. Slave labor is all we have. Who cares about the royal baby?My attitude on the birth of a royal baby in Britain is: who cares? We declared independence in 1776. Leave it on that side on the pond.Why did they stop making American cars?Why did they stop making American cars? Why didnt they just cut down on Japanese imports? The Pontiac was a great blue blood American car. The Mercury was a fast beautiful American car. The Oldsmobile was an American icon. So why, oh why, did our glorious financial advisors keep the Japanese cars here and kick out these fine American machines?Time is preciousMy time is precious. A recent Disney ad on TV said we know your time is precious, so come here and see everything in our park. Well, I figured they are right, so why not go to Disney World and use as much of my time, my precious time, as possible. Each line for each attraction took me approximately one hour to two hours before I got into each attraction. By going to six attractions that would come to an average of nine hours of waiting time in line to see the six attractions for that day. Are they not capable of realizing how much time people waste in line? I would rather walk my family through the zoo or a museum and use 100 percent of our precious time to get our moneys worth. In response to: Yesterdays womenF or the person who wrote Yesterdays women. Thank you, I havent laughed that hard since I was a child. What happened to those women? Well one thing, people felt that two incomes would be better than one. When women started seeing their husbands not wearing nice clothes anymore they started figuring why should they. B esides they cost a lot of money. What man in this day can afford to support a house with a wife and child or children by themselves? The Indian River Lagoon needs our help. This remarkable estuary provides a livelihood for commercial fisheries, recreational opportunities for the public and vital habitat for plant, animal and marine life. The lagoon also generates billions of dollars for the local economy. Over the past couple of y ears, the stretch of the lagoon in Brevard and V olusia counties has experienced severe algal blooms that have degraded water quality and reduced seagrass coverage. In addition, a brown tide algal bloom appeared this past spring in the northern lagoon. Gov. Rick Scott, the F lorida Department of Environmental Protection and the St. Johns River W ater Management D istrict are concerned about the health of the lagoon and committed to finding out why the blooms occurred in the northern r eaches and how we might r educe the chances of similar events in the future. We are partnering with local governments, educational institutions and many stakeholders in this work. The Florida Legislature is also focused on the lagoon with the formation this summer of a Senate S elect Committee that is looking at water quality and quantity issues in the southern lagoon region. N atural factors may have contributed to the appearance of these massive algal blooms, with a 2011 superbloom being the most likely perfect storm of occurrences. The cold waters during the extremely cold winters of 2009 and 2010, which many anglers r emember killing large numbers of game fish, may have also killed much of the naturally occurring large tumbleweed-like algae, causing them to decay and release nutrients.The increase in nutrients caused by the decaying tumbleweed-like algae in the warmer spring and summer waters in 2011 may have helped facilitate the superbloom that created conditions for the brown tide bloom that exists today in the lagoon from New Smyrna Beach in V olusia County to Titusville in Brevard County. S tate agencies charged with protecting our natural r esources and wildlife are addressing various lagoonr elated issues and sharing their expertise with one another. While this immediate crisis may be naturally occurring, we continue to look for methods to improve the health of this wonderful ecosystem. R esearchers with the F lorida Fish and Wildlife C onservation Commission are studying the impacts to wildlife from the algal blooms. Many of Floridas best and brightest scientists began gathering data and conducting research following the superbloom, and every aspect of the lagoon its fish, its plant life, its water quality is being scrutinized to better understand the waterways complexities. The District launched an initiative that more than doubles our lagoon r esearch and restoration work.We are enhancing our ability to monitor water quality changes and trends, and we are continuing to collaborate with partners to pursue algae studies, as well as transplanting seagrass to r evitalize its coverage. The Department has r ecently adopted new rules and regulations for the northern and central I ndian River Lagoon and B anana River Lagoon to mandate the reduction of nutrient intrusion.The goal is to reduce nutrients from washing into the estuary to r each the level needed to promote and maintain healthy seagrass growth.The adopted action plans identify additional projects to further reduce nutrient loadings. We are building upon y ears of research and are proceeding with turn dirt r estoration projects aimed at helping the lagoon. More than 100 projects have been implemented to provide long-term protection of the lagoon. State and local officials have worked hard and invested millions of dollars to address the lagoons health, which had led to dramatic declines in harmful nutrient levels of phosphates and nitrates that feed algae. These trends coincided with work among many partners to decrease the land-based nutrients from flowing with storm water into the estuary.Much more, however, needs to be done. There are no simple answers.We are striving to better understand the factors whether naturally occurring or manmade that contribute to dramatic changes in the lagoon and how these changes will affect the health and future of this ra re and special place. M any biologists and scientists with historic knowledge of the lagoons health and years of water quality and seagrass data continue to identify additional opportunities for progress.

Atlantic Ave., in Bellair Plaza, next to Publix Daytona Beach 386-677-5410 F or the first time since Apr il 2008, builders obtained permits for more than 100 new houses in V olusia County in a single month. The U.S. Census Bureau r eported permits were issued in June for 109 single-family homes and 72 multi-family units. It was up sharply from 56 singlefamily and 12 multi-family units in June 2012. But does it signal home building in V olusia is all the way back from the Great Recession? M aybe or, if you follow D .R. Hortons land purchases, its definitely back. The Fo rt Wor th-based builder pushed past KB Home last y ear to become the largest builder in Volusia, which is appropriate since it was the largest home builder in the nation in 2012. The company has been buying up incomplete subdivisions all ov er the county, amassing hundreds of lots. So far, not a lot of other builders have kept up, but that could change rapidly if the number of houses started each month in V olusia stays above 100. Ev en if the Federal Reserve r aises interest rates this y ear, the building probably would continue because so much of the home buying in Volusia is done with cash. *** The home building numbers arent the other ones that are really eyecatching. The latest report from the state Department of Revenue shows taxable r etail sales in Volusia in May we re up 8.4 percent from M ay 2012. Just about every r etail sector in the county was up and some were way up. While some other areas of business have been up and down, or sluggish, retail has been fairly consistently up over the past three or four years. Also, passenger traffic at D aytona Beach International Airport was up 7 percent in June at 53,572 compared to 49,860 in June 2012. The increased traffic has led D elta Air Lines to fly only big jets out of Daytona B each. On Monday, all five flights were on a MD-88. US Airways is still flying some smaller, regional jets out of DBIA, though. *** All right, so I was way off on the next Publix store to get the demolish-andr ebuild treatment. I didnt look at all the logistics or I would have guessed the one in Daytona Beach Shores. The Publix on South A tlantic Avenue sits next to a drug store that was closed when CVS built a standalone building at Atlantic Av enue and Dunlawton B oulevard. (Shameless plug for next door neighbor and landscaper Paul Slavin: Doesnt the landscaping look great at that CVS P harmacy?) Another logistical note I missed P ublix owns the building in the Shores. So, it should be able to easily expand from a 36,000-square-foot store to a 46,000-square-foot store there. On the other hand, theres going to be a lot of unhappy P ublix shoppers who now will have to go to the mainland or shop at the W inn-Dixie in the Shores. They could stay on the beachside, but its a long way up to the Publix at B ellair Plaza. On behalf of the city of Daytona Beach - hey, Publix, you ever thought of putting a store on East International S peedway Boulevard? *** As the outparcels turn, Fir estone has opened its store at The Pavilion at Port Orange. You cant miss it, since it is right out on W illiamson Boulevard in a high-profile spot. At Volusia M alls new restaurant village, Bahama Breeze will open Monday, Aug. 5. The village also will have a r elocated Olive Garden and a new IHOP. With CBL & Associates owning both The P avilion and Volusia Mall, can we expect a Bahama Br eeze to open next to the O live Garden at The Pavilion? *** There were a couple of r ecent land purchases of note. Lawrence, Kan., builder Mike Stultz paid $1.675 million for an oceanfront parcel at 1901 S. A tlantic Ave. in Daytona B each Shores. Im sure the folks at the Shores City Hall hope he does something nice with it. Thats the first oceanfront property on the north end of the city. Snow Enterprises of Ormond B each and North Carolina bought a large commercial lot on Hand Avenue, just w est of Nova Road in Ormond Beach, for $1 million from MDSS LLC of Ormond Beach. *** C onsolidated-Tomoka Land Co. managed to eke out a profit of $252,000 in the second quarter, down from $660 million last year. Re venue was at $5 million, up from $4.4 million last y ear as the companys rental properties are starting to add a lot of value to its bottom line. Speaking of which, the company r ecently bought a Rite Aid pharmacy property in R enton, Wash. (a suburb of S eattle) for $6 million. Rite Aid still has 13 years left on its lease there.

The Little Engine Academy helps keep children on trackF or working moms and dads, finding a top-notch daycare facility for their preschool children is not always an easy task. Though there may be many daycare centers within a given area, not all are equal, either in quality or affordability. In Ormond B each, however, theres a new kid on the block the Little Engine Academy on South Nova Road. For merly known as Br ight Beginnings, the daycare center is now under the direction of Bob and Joy V aeth. After moving from Pa rk City, Utah, to Ormond B each, the couple assumed o wnership of the facility, and this past June, reopened the center with a new name. One of the most immediate attractions at the Little Engine Academy is a large Lionel train display with bells, whistles and crossr oads plus dozens of mini stop-off points, such as stores and eating-places. The winding track includes a tall mountain tunnel for the train to travel through and rural fields dotted with tractors; plus depots and towers and other nifty things guaranteed to catch a childs attention. My husband likes trains thats how it all got started, Mrs. V aeth quipped. As a private childcare facility, the Little Engine A cademy offers daycare for both infants and kindergartners. Its for preschoolers only getting kids ready for first grade, giving them a big head start, Mr. Vaeth said. The spacious surroundings and large number of r ooms allow for a variety of activities, each appropriately geared towards different age groups. A quick tour of the center begins with a sizable dining r oom for the older children, ages 3 to 5, and can accommodate up to 90 kids at a time. Experienced and certified aides are always on hand to tend to the little ones needs. Down the hallway from the dining room is the infant room for babies six w eeks to one year. Cribs and r ockers are aptly placed throughout the room, and each infant is carefully tended by specially trained staff. O ther indoor areas include playrooms for toddlers ages 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. N ext is the walking/talking group the 3 year-olds; plus playrooms for the 4 and 5 year-olds. In all instances, activities, games and toys are age-appropriate. Also in place is a staff-to-child ratio of 1:4, 1:6, 1:11 and 1:16, depending on the age group. The older the child is, the greater the ratio. There also is a computer r oom or learning lab where the older children can learn language skills and access a variety of educational materials. The computers are not internetaccessible, but each of the programs provide important tools for learning. The lab, of course, is staffed and monitored by a teacher or teachers aide. Throughout the facility itself, in every room and in every hallway, is an impressive array of artwork colorful hand-painted murals that depict animals, trees and pastoral scenes; plus people and places indigenous to other countries, including Japan, England, Fr ance and Mexico. When it comes to mealtime, the Little Engine Academy places great importance on the kind of food it provides. All meals are prepared by a caring kitchen staff that emphasizes a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, which in turn, helps y oungsters learn about good nutrition. In F lorida, daycare facilities are regulated by the D epartment of Children and F amilies. Each facility must follow certain criteria and meet the developmental guidelines for both activities and curriculum as set forth by DCF. Facilities must also be licensed by the state. Little Engine Academy has met every requirement. In addition, the owners are on sight all day every day. As stated by Mr. Vaeth, the Little Engine Academy is a school where child enrichment is offered more through curriculum-based education and less through babysitting. Were honored that the parents have entrusted their children to our care. The Little Engine Academy is at 499 S. Nova Road, Ormond Beach. H ours are 6:30 a.m. to 6 p .m., Monday through Friday.

U.S. Blinds can help improve your homes atmosphereThere is never a day he gets up and says, I dont think I want to go to work today. At last count, hes tried to r etire twice and some would say hes failed both times. How ever, the things you can say about Tom Russell is he always makes sure his customers are satisfied, that he works with people he enjoys being with and he is a bonafide people person. Mr. Russell and his wife, Elizabeth Betsy Russell, o wn U.S. Blinds Fabrications Inc. One of the worst times to open a new business in this country was in the late 1970s to mid 1980s, but in 1985 Mr. Russell started his company in a small showr oom and plant at 1725 S. Nova R oad in South Daytona and 30 years later he is still there, except the showr oom and manufacturing plant are 10 times bigger and there are two more locations. Y ears of working for a national company as a decorator and sales representative gave him the knowledge and experience to take the plunge. Mr. Russell also had a recipe for success. He r ecognized at the time the only source for vertical blinds was to buy them from large national department stores. The fact he could manufacture (and still can) the entire product line he sells enabled him to produce a higher quality product as w ell as custom fit difficult installations instead of delivering cookie-cutter solutions. This gave him control over the entire process, assured the quality of the product, the timeliness of delivery and installation, and ultimately the ability to ensure customer satisfaction. N ot that its always been easy. Mr. Russell started out by going to the Flea Market on the weekends, showing his vertical blinds, taking orders, coming back to the plant during the week to manufacture them and install them, and then the w eekend started the cycle all ov er again. U.S. Blinds is operated by a loyal group of employees that share Mr. Russells goals of high quality and outstanding customer satisfaction. Each staff member is an expert in their field and is r eady to bring that expertise to your home. Knowledge and experience in colors and motif and the overall impact the customer wants to make with their home is of utmost importance to the staff of U.S. Blinds. As time marches on, so do trends and U.S. Blinds moves with the times. First, vertical blinds, then adding mini blinds, shutters (including interior plantation shutters) and now fully motorized awnings. They also have draperies and custom window treatments. B ecause of customer r equests, they established the only blind repair and cleaning service in the market. They offer in-home r epair service or customers can deliver their blinds that need repair or even pick up the needed parts at US B linds manufacturing facility in South Daytona. They have been named the Southern Region Blindcrafter of the Year and are excited whenever they get the opportunity to help you spruce up your environment. It doesnt take much to change a window covering style or color to brighten y our home or business. In addition, your time is r espected by U.S. Blinds. Theirs is not a, Well see you between 1 and 4 this afternoon operation. When they say they will be there at a certain time, they will be there. U.S. Blinds is fully licensed and insured, and stands behind every product that they sell with a satisfaction guarantee. If you ask some of your neighbors, chances are U.S. Blinds has done some work for them. A company that has been in business nearly 30 years speaks for itself. U.S. Blinds is run by a personable, knowledgeable man of integrity with a desire to make sure each customer is a satisfied customer. Tom and Betsy Russell have three children, D eborah, Christine and Chad. US Blinds stores are at 1725 S. Nova Road, South D aytona, 1104 W.

Shop has created smiles for five yearsH ersheys Ice Cream shop has been serving smiles with every scoop for the past five years in Ormond B each. The ice cream shop at 145 E. Granada Blvd. has made a home for itself in the community. Something important to owners Ben and Marilynn Sternberg. M any may walk by what Mr. Sternberg sees as the most important part of the shop the wall of fame with photos, sports team plaques and more highlighting their community. P art of our success is our successful relationship with the schools, synagogue and sports teams, Mr. Sternberg said. We support all of these and because of that, the community has accepted us as their ice cream shop. How ever, what to order may be a daunting task for the first time visitor, or even a repeat customer. There are 48 flavors of ice cream from C up O Joe to Cotton Candy and Mackinac Island Fudge. Then you have to decide how you want it in a cup, a homemade waffle cone, sundae, milkshake or banana split. W e use Hersheys ice cream, Mrs. Sternberg said. W e are a family business and so are they. J acob Hershey founded H ersheys Creamery in 1894, coincidentally the same year M ilton S. Hershey started his chocolate candy company, also in Pennsylvania. The selection is not limited to the hand-packed Hersheys Ice Cream; they also offer Greek no-fat frozen yo gurt and soft serve ice cream. Need an ice cream cake for a special occasion? They have that, too. Mr. Sternberg retired in N ew Jersey and moved with his wife to Florida. I retired in New Jersey and I didnt want to be r etired, so I thought Id start a little business to keep me occupied, he said. K eeping occupied doesnt seem to be an issue for Mr. S ternberg. He is a familiar face at most of the local city and Main Street events and works closely with the schools and teachers in the area with different programs, including The Ab ov e and Beyond Reward. There also is a Frequent Scooper Reward for a free ice cream after 10 are purchased. W e do most of the events for the town and Main Str eet, Mr. Sternberg said. W e also have a school r eward program for a free ice cream with a certificate given by the teacher whenever the student does something well academically or in sports. Mr. Sternberg said it isnt unusual to find a line of people waiting for ice cream, especially on weekend nights. Little bits of Ormond B each history and photos are posted on the wall for folks to read while they wait. W e are very fortunate because we have a strong r esidential community behind us and the tourist community in front at the beach. We have had people tell us it isnt a vacation until they have been in for ice cream, Mr. Sternberg said. The shop also has bins of different candy for sale as w ell as a nostalgic candy section with candy from past decades not found on most store shelves. W affle cones are handmade on site and dipped in different toppings, including chocolate fudge, nuts and sprinkles. If that isnt enough, some of the largest cookies you will ever see, D avids cookies, are baked fresh daily. The shops 5th anniversary was July 19, but the S ternbergs are waiting until S eptember to celebrate with the community with free scoops of ice cream on Sunday, Sept. 22 W e want to say thank you to the community, Mr. S ternberg said. W e are part of the community. We live in Ormond B each and support Ormond B each, Mr. Sternberg said.

C aused by a single-celled parasite that infects the small intestine, Cyclospora usually causes diarrhea with frequent bowel movements. At this time, there have been no patients hospitalized in F lorida. O ther common symptoms of Cyclospora infection include loss of appetite, w eight loss, stomach cramps/pain, bloating, increased gas, nausea and fatigue. Vomiting, body aches, headache, fever and other flu-like symptoms may be noted. Cy clospora is most commonly spread by ingesting water or uncooked food that was contaminated with human feces. Cyclospora infections have been previously linked to various types of fresh vegetables and berries. Cyclospora is not passed directly from one person to another. E pidemiologists across F lorida, in coordination with the Centers for Disease C ontrol and Prevention, are working to identify the source of these Cyclospora cases, said Interim State E pidemiologist Dr. Carina B lackmore. Staff are reinterviewing those affected to carefully examine food items and the ingredients those patients were exposed to. Onset dates of Cyclospora cases in Florida range from the beginning of June to mid-July. There are no links to common restaurants found among the 24 cases, as in other states. Additionally, no common food items or events, like a social gathering, have been identified among those affected.

The show is at Cinematique T heater, 242 S. Beach St., If there is one basic function that everyone is familiar with and yet shrouded in mystery, I would have to say that would be the print command. Again, everybody is familiar with the print command click the print button and your printer spits out a hard copy. But the reason its shrouded in mystery is there are a ton of options and controls available, most of which no one takes the time to learn, that give the user a lot more control over the printer output than many people are aware they have. Lets take a look at some of these functions and see if we can figure out what some of them are good for and why we would want to use them. U sing the print button in the toolbar of many applications (or the Quick Print option in Word) will do just that quickly send whatever is onscreen to the printer using the default settings. What that means is the computer has a series of preset settings it will use by default if you dont tell it to do something different. F or instance, if you have more than one printer set up (perhaps your real printer and maybe a fax program listed as a printer), then the computer will have one printer set up as its default. If you dont tell it to print to another device, then thats the one its going to print to. Other defaults include paper size, whether or not you want to print in color or grayscale and print quality. Clicking the print button on the tool bar will send the print job to the printer using these default settings. B ut what if you want to change something? Suppose y ou want to print to a different printer or maybe y ou want to print using the low quality settings (draft) to save some ink, how can y ou adjust these settings if the print job sends straight to the printer when you click print? To get to the print menu that gives you full control, look for the File pull-down menu at the top left hand corner of whatever program y ou are trying to print from. Now, be aware that not all programs have the File, Ed it, View pull down menus that weve grown fond of over the years. You may or may not see the file pull-down menu if you are r unning Vista or Windows 7, but that doesnt mean we cant get to where we want to go. If you have a File pulldown menu, click it. You should fine the print command listed and clicking that will pull up the print window. If you dont have the File pull-down, then on your keyboard, press and hold the CTRL button and then click P. That will open the print command the same as clicking F ile then Print. Now, I know what some of y ou are thinking, Why go through all that business with the File pull-down menu when CTRL + P does the same thing? Well, the r eason I try to steer people in the direction of the pulldown menus is simply because there are other commands in there right next to Print that may not be available with the keyboard shortcut. F or instance, you may notice a command called Pr int Preview when you click the file pull down menu. Print Preview is a great command that saves paper by actually showing y ou a preview of whats about to come out of the printer should you commit and click print. The preview saves paper by letting you decide what adjustments y ou want to make before sending the print job to the printer. Now, back to our print command, clicking Print in the File pull-down or pressing CTRL+P will open the print dialogue box and the first thing it will show is what printer its going to send to. This is where you can tell the computer to send to a device other than the default. Clicking the Pr operties button lets you change things like paper size, quality and color. The properties menu will change from printer to printer but the core is the same. Its the place where fine changes can be made on the printer. Fur ther down the print dialogue box you can tell the computer what pages to print and how many copies and after making any changes here, clicking print will then send the job to the printer with the changes that you selected.

Ihave been doing a good bit of community service lately and, no, it is not a part of my parole. My wife Lana and I spent a nice afternoon at the Splendor In The G lass wine tasting at St. D emetrius Church in D aytona Beach. I was there to represent this paper and all inshore fishermen at the big charity event to support the ARC. The large, beautiful room was packed and everyone had a good time sampling the wine, beer and good food that was all donated. Capt. Nick did his usual great job of providing the island flavored background music as Arthur Byrnes manned the emcee mike. Lots of old friends and some new ones stopped by my table to talk fishing methods and tackle selection. Thanks to Gail Ir vrine for inviting us to be there. A while back I took a turn at the podium to speak to the Ormond B each chapter of AARP. I had an attentive audience as I delved into beach r acing and, of course, a bit of fishing. On Saturday, July 27, I was at Tomoka State Park to give a fishing seminar to the many locals and visitors who showed up. I spoke about red circle hooks, lead split shot and proudly showed off my fingernail kit that includes an emery board and clippers. Of course, I use the emery to sharpen my hooks and the nail clippers to cut the tag end of monofilament line while my fingernails remain a gnarly mess as usual. I demonstrated how easy it is to tie a good palomar knot and even took up the cast net for a couple throws. All good fun. Thanks to Phil Rand and Aggie Armstrong for the invite. F ishing has been spotty in the Mosquito Lagoon, but Capt. Leo is having success with his new Silver B utterscotch Mullet he helped develop for the Grandslam Bait Co. It is a good looking paddle tail minnow with a lot of action. According to Leo, that is about all that has been working down his way. Up here in the T omoka Basin area, the flounder action has picked up, but it appears to be an off-season compared to the last two. I was still able to use my chartreuse jig for three nice flatties near the spoil islands. The largest was 21 inches and that is a fish I will gladly take home on any day. Lately I have been hearing some good reports on snook north of Granada B oulevard and on up to H igh Bridge. I cannot tell y ou of any that I caught myself, but I remain ever hopeful my next trip will be the one. Ladyfish have been providing me with a little excitement around the islands in the Halifax. The shrimp run seems to be stalled up at High Br idge, but hopefully the little critters will come on down the river soon. This is the time of year when drifting a crab or hunk of fresh fish through the inlet will yield a monster red. If you have never experienced the thrill of doing battle with an oversized red drum, this is your chance. Using stout tackle, drop either a small whole crab or half of a large one down to the bottom and crank it back up a few turns. J ust sit back and let the current take you through the inlet in whichever direction it is moving. Be careful and make sure to hold onto your rod or have it securely in a holder for the bite will be instant and heavy. As I mentioned, you may substitute a big hunk of fresh mullet. If you happen to catch a ladyfish for bait, you cant miss. Those old big reds just love a juicy hunk of stinky ladyfish. In both rivers and all creeks, the mangrove snapper will be in the keeper size range. If you can locate a school of mangos, try and get a kid into the mix. Children and feisty mangrove snappers add up to nothing but fun. In this hot weather, it is best to go early or late and r emember to take along insect repellent. You cant see the no-see-ums, but they will see you. D an Smith has fished the waters of Volusia County for more than 40 years.

There is a huge difference between golf and tournament golf. Su re playing with your buddies for a few dollars or dinner or drinks after your r ound can get the nerves twitching, but nothing really compares to having to play exactly by the rules, counting every stroke. There are no gimmes or just put me down for a double pickups in tournament golf. If you are 50 years old, or will be soon, and want to experience the thrill that comes with competitive tournament golf, you should look into the Senior Amateur Golf Tour. This tour is open to men and women of all skill levels who will turn 50years of age or older during this calendar y ear. In Florida, there are four tours, West Palm B each, Orlando, North C entral and Tampa-Sarasota area. Each tour has its own schedule of events. The W est Palm schedule started in March, and has six events left out of its 15-event 2013 schedule. The Orlando Tour also started in March. The 16-event schedule has five tournaments remaining between now and October. M embers get to play some of the most exclusive and desired courses in their area. This years Orlando schedule included tournaments at Southern Dunes, F alcons Fire, Disneys O sprey Creek and Magnolia, The Quarry Course at Black D iamond, the New Course at Grand Cypress, Orange C ounty National, and LPGA I nternational in Daytona B each. W est Palm Beachs schedule featured tournaments at Binks Forest, G lenn Eagles, Hobe Sound, Br oken Sound, The Falls, Eastpointe and the Breakers R ees Jones Course to name a few. The best part of this tour is that when you join, you can play in events on any of the 15 tours. All you do is pay your entrance fee and off you go. So, if you happen to be visiting Pinehurst and they have a tournament while you are there, you can tee it up with new competition. Me mbership is $85 and the tournament entry fees r ange from $65 to more than $100, depending on where you are playing, with most falling around $85. M ost members are even allowed to play a practice r ound for what usually amounts to a cart fee. The membership fee includes T our merchandise and allows you to play in all local events as well as any SAGT event in the United States throughout the year. If you arent sure if the S enior Amateur Golf Tour is something you would like to join and play in, they will allow you to play once as a guest. All you have to do is pay the entry fee for that event.

S enior Amateur Golf Tour events are 18-hole stroke play tournaments using only gross score and conforming to USGA Rules. Golfers are placed in flights according to their handicap and remain in that flight until their handicap warrants a move. Points are awarded to golfers in every event. All points and standings are kept current on the website, allowing you to see exactly where you stand. There are four flights, broken down into Championship (0-3.9 handicap index); A Flight (4-8.9); B Fl ight (9-13.9); and C Flight (14 and above). You will play against golfers of similar skill. You wont be getting or giving six or ten strokes to or from your competitors. The top finishers in each flight will receive gift cards at every event. Prizes are funded from player entry fees with the total purse depending on the number of players at each event. An optional skins pool is also conducted at each event. At y ears end, the top points leaders in each flight r eceive an invitation to r epresent their tour and compete against other top SAGT members from around the country at the 36-hole National Championship in Pinehurst, N.C.
